CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 to Japanese Patent Application No. 2016-168102 filed on Aug. 30, 2016. The above application is hereby expressly incorporated by reference, in its entirety, into the present application.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a zoom lens forming an intermediate image, a projection display device comprising the zoom lens, and an imaging apparatus comprising the zoom lens.

2. Description of the Related Art

In the past, projection display devices, each of which uses a light valve such as a liquid crystal display element or a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD: registered trademark) display element, have come into widespread use. In particular, some widely used devices adopt a configuration in which three light valves are used, illumination light beams with three primary colors of red, green, and blue respectively correspond to the light valves, synthesizes the light beams, which are modulated through the respective light valves, through a prism or the like, and displays an image onto a screen through a zoom lens.

In such a zoom lens used in a type of the projection display device that synthesizes the light beams modulated through the three light valves through a color synthesis optical system and projects the light beams, as described above, in order for a prism or the like for performing color synthesis to be disposed therein and in order to avoid a thermal problem, a long back focal length is necessary. Further, since spectral characteristics of the color synthesizing prism change depending on an angle of incident light, it is necessary for the projection lens to have the characteristic that the entrance pupil is at a sufficiently far position in a case where the reduction side is set as the incident side, that is, to be telecentric on the reduction side.

It has become necessary for such a type of the zoom lens to perform favorable aberration correction appropriate for the resolutions of light valves. Further, from the viewpoint of installability, in order to cope with the demands to have a high zoom ratio function and to perform projection onto a large screen at a short distance, it is necessary for a zoom lens to have a wider angle of view.

A zoom lens, which forms an intermediate image at a position conjugate to the reduction side imaging plane and forms the intermediate image again on the magnification side imaging plane, has been proposed so as to cope with such demands (for example, JP2015-152890A and JP2015-179270A).

In a normal zoom lens of a system which does not form an intermediate image, in a case where an increase in angle of view is intended to be achieved by shortening a focal length thereof, the size of the magnification side lens inevitably becomes excessively large. However, in a zoom lens of a relay system which forms an intermediate image as described above, it is possible to shorten a back focal length of the lens system closer to the magnification side than the intermediate image. Therefore, it is possible to decrease a magnification side lens diameter of the lens system closer to the magnification side than the intermediate image, and this configuration is appropriate for achieving an increase in angle of view by shortening a focal length thereof.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

However, in the lens system described in JP2015-152890A, even a largest angle of view among those of three examples is equal to or less than 110°, and thus it cannot be said that the angle of view is sufficiently wide.

Further, in the lens system described in JP2015-179270A, a lens system (relay lens part) closer to the reduction side than the intermediate image includes five lens groups. Among the lens groups, three lens groups are movable groups. Thus, a configuration thereof becomes complicated.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned situations, and its object is to provide a zoom lens that forms an intermediate image and has a small size with a wide angle and has a simple configuration, a projection display device comprising the zoom lens, and an imaging apparatus comprising the zoom lens.

A zoom lens of the present invention forms an intermediate image at a position conjugate to a reduction side imaging plane and forms the intermediate image again on a magnification side imaging plane. The zoom lens comprises: a first optical system on the magnification side; and a second optical system on the reduction side. The intermediate image is formed between the magnification side and the reduction side. The second optical system includes two movable lens groups, which move by changing spacings between the groups adjacent to each other in a direction of an optical axis during zooming, and two stationary lens groups which remain stationary with respect to the reduction side imaging plane during zooming. In addition, one stationary lens group of the two stationary lens groups is disposed to be closest to the reduction side, and has a positive refractive power.

In the zoom lens of the present invention, it is preferable that a lens group closest to the magnification side in the second optical system has a positive refractive power.

It is preferable that the zoom lens satisfies Conditional Expression (1), and it is more preferable that the zoom lens satisfies Conditional Expression (1-1). 0<|fw|/f21<0.2  (1) 0.01<|fw|/f21<0.1  (1-1)

Here, fw is a focal length of the whole system at a wide-angle end, and

f21 is a focal length of the lens group closest to the magnification side in the second optical system.

It is preferable that the zoom lens satisfies Conditional Expression (2), and it is more preferable that the zoom lens satisfies Conditional Expression (2-1). 3<b/a<15  (2) 5<b/a<10  (2-1)

Here, b is a ray diameter within a meridian plane of a maximum image height at an F number which is five times a design F number at the wide-angle end, and

a is a ray diameter of on-axis rays at the F number which is five times the design F number at the wide-angle end.

In a state where telecentric light at an F number five times a design F number is input from the reduction side, in a case where the magnification side imaging plane is at the infinity, the ray diameters of a and b are set as diameters of rays at a position closer to the magnification side than the lens surface closest to the magnification side. Further, the ray diameter of b is a ray diameter in a direction perpendicular to the principal ray.

It is preferable that a third lens group from the magnification side in the second optical system is the movable lens group which has a positive refractive power.

It is preferable that the zoom lens satisfies Conditional Expression (3). 0<|fw|/f23<0.1  (3)

Here, fw is a focal length of the whole system at the wide-angle end, and

f24 is a focal length of a fourth lens group from the magnification side in the second optical system.

It is preferable that the zoom lens satisfies Conditional Expression (5), and it is more preferable that the zoom lens satisfies Conditional Expression (5-1). 0.7<f1/|fw|<3  (5) 0.8<f1/|fw|<2  (5-1)

Here, f1 is a focal length of the first optical system at the wide-angle end, and

fw is a focal length of the whole system at the wide-angle end.

The second optical system may include, in order from the magnification side, the movable lens group, the stationary lens group, the movable lens group, and the stationary lens group.

The second optical system may include, in order from the magnification side, the stationary lens group, the movable lens group, the movable lens group, and the stationary lens group.

It is preferable that the first optical system remains stationary with respect to the reduction side imaging plane during zooming.

An imaging apparatus of the present invention comprises the above-mentioned zoom lens of the present invention.

It should be noted that the “magnification side” means a projected side (screen side). Even in a case where projection is performed in a reduced manner, for convenience, the screen side is referred to as the magnification side. On the other hand, the “reduction side” means an image display element side (light valve side). Even in a case where projection is performed in a reduced manner, for convenience, the light valve side is referred to as the reduction side.

Further, the “comprises . . . or includes . . . ” means that the zoom lens may include not only the above-mentioned elements but also lenses substantially having no powers, optical elements, which are not lenses, such as a mirror having no power, a stop, a mask, a cover glass, a filter, and the like.

Further, the “lens group” is not necessarily formed of a plurality of lenses, but may be formed as only one lens.

Further, regarding the “back focal length”, the following assumption is considered: the magnification side and the reduction side respectively correspond to the object side and the image side of a general imaging lens, and the magnification side and the reduction side are respectively referred to as the front side and the back side.

In addition, one stationary lens group of the two stationary lens groups is disposed to be closest to the reduction side, and has a positive refractive power. Therefore, it is possible to provide a zoom lens that has a small size with a wide angle and has a simple configuration, a projection display device comprising the zoom lens, and an imaging apparatus comprising the zoom lens.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a configuration of a zoom lens according to an embodiment of the present invention. The exemplary configuration shown in FIG. 1 is the same as the configuration of the zoom lens of Examples 1 to be described later. FIG. 1 shows a state at the wide-angle end, where an image display surface Sim side is the reduction side, and a lens L11 a side of a first optical system G1 is a magnification side. Further, in FIG. 1, on-axis rays wa and rays with a maximum angle of view wb are also shown together.

This zoom lens is, for example, mounted on a projection display device, and can be used to project image information displayed on the light valve onto the screen. In FIG. 1, assuming that the zoom lens is mounted on the projection display device, an optical member PP such as a filter or a prism used in a color synthesizing section or an illumination light separating section, and an image display surface Sim of a light valve positioned on a reduction side surface of the optical member PP are also shown. In the projection display device, rays, which are made to have image information through the image display surface Sim on the image display element, are incident into the zoom lens through the optical member PP, and are transmitted onto a screen, which is not shown in the drawing, through the zoom lens.

As shown in FIG. 1, the zoom lens of the present embodiment forms an intermediate image at a position conjugate to a reduction side imaging plane (image display surface Sim) and forms the intermediate image again on a magnification side imaging plane. The zoom lens comprises: the first optical system G1 on the magnification side; and a second optical system G2 on the reduction side. The intermediate image is formed therebetween. The second optical system G2 includes two movable lens groups, which move by changing spacings between the groups adjacent to each other in a direction of an optical axis during zooming, and two stationary lens groups which remain stationary with respect to the reduction side imaging plane during zooming. In addition, one stationary lens group of the two stationary lens groups is disposed to be closest to the reduction side, and has a positive refractive power.

In a normal zoom lens of a system which does not form an intermediate image, in a case where an increase in angle of view is intended to be achieved by shortening a focal length thereof, the size of the magnification side lens inevitably becomes excessively large. However, in a manner similar to that of the present embodiment, in a zoom lens of a system which forms an intermediate image, it is possible to shorten a back focal length of the first optical system G1 closer to the magnification side than the intermediate image. In addition, it is possible to decrease a magnification side lens diameter, and this configuration is appropriate for achieving an increase in angle of view by shortening a focal length thereof.

Further, zooming is performed by moving a lens system closer to the reduction side than the intermediate image. As for the zooming operation, change in relay magnification of the second optical system G2 closer to the reduction side than the intermediate image corresponds to change in size of the intermediate image. In addition, the second optical system G2 includes only four lens groups. Among the lens groups, only two lens groups are movable lens groups. Therefore, it is possible to realize an optically simple configuration.

Further, the stationary lens group, which remains stationary with respect to the reduction side imaging plane during zooming and has a positive refractive power, is disposed to be closest to the reduction side. Thereby, it is possible to reduce fluctuation in aberrations during zooming while keeping the zoom lens telecentric.

In the zoom lens of the present invention, it is preferable that a lens group closest to the magnification side in the second optical system G2 has a positive refractive power. With such a configuration, it is possible to effectively deflect rays near the maximum image height toward the inside. Thus, it is possible to keep the lens diameter of the optical system from being small.

It is preferable that the zoom lens of the present invention satisfies Conditional Expression (1). By not allowing the result of Conditional Expression (1) to be equal to or less than the lower limit, a second-1 lens group G21, which is the lens group closest to the magnification side in the second optical system G2, is set to have a positive refractive power. Thereby, it is possible to effectively deflect rays near the maximum image height toward the inside. Thus, it is possible to keep the lens diameter of the optical system from being small. By not allowing the result of Conditional Expression (1) to be equal to or greater than the upper limit, it is possible to prevent the power of the second-1 lens group G21 from becoming excessively strong. Thus, it is possible to prevent rays near the maximum angle of view from rapidly changing. As a result, it is possible to suppress astigmatism. In addition, in a case where Conditional Expression (1-1) is satisfied, it is possible to obtain more favorable characteristics. By not allowing the result of Conditional Expression (1-1) to be equal to or less than the lower limit, it is possible to prevent the power of the second-1 lens group G21 from becoming excessively weak. Thus, it is possible to minimize a total length of the second optical system G2, and it is possible to prevent the size of the whole lens system from becoming large. 0<|fw|/f21<0.2  (1) 0.01<|fw|/f21<0.1  (1-1)

Here, fw is a focal length of the whole system at the wide-angle end, and

f21 is a focal length of the lens group closest to the magnification side in the second optical system G2.

It is preferable that the zoom lens satisfies Conditional Expression (2). By not allowing the result of Conditional Expression (2) to be equal to or less than the lower limit, it is possible to realize a lens which has a wide angle of view, in which various aberrations are satisfactorily corrected, and for which a peripheral light amount ratio is ensured. By not allowing the result of Conditional Expression (2) to be equal to or greater than the upper limit, it is possible to prevent the outer diameter of the lens from being increased. In addition, in a case where Conditional Expression (2-1) is satisfied, it is possible to obtain more favorable characteristics. 3<b/a<15  (2) 5<b/a<10  (2-1)

Here, b is a ray diameter within a meridian plane of the maximum image height at the F number which is five times the design F number at the wide-angle end, and

a is a ray diameter of on-axis rays at the F number which is five times the design F number at the wide-angle end.

It is preferable that a second-3 lens group G23, which is a third lens group from the magnification side in the second optical system G2, is the movable lens group which has a positive refractive power. With such a configuration, it is possible to satisfactorily correct astigmatism.

It is preferable that the zoom lens satisfies Conditional Expression (3). By not allowing the result of Conditional Expression (3) to be equal to or less than the lower limit and by making the second-3 lens group G23 have a positive refractive power, there is an advantage in correcting astigmatism. By not allowing the result of the conditional expression (3) to be equal to or greater than the upper limit, the power of the second-3 lens group G23 can be prevented from becoming excessively strong. Thus, there is an advantage in suppressing fluctuation in spherical aberration during zooming. 0<|fw|/f23<0.1  (3)

Here, fw is a focal length of the whole system at the wide-angle end, and

f23 is a focal length of the third lens group from the magnification side in the second optical system G2.

It is preferable that the zoom lens satisfies Conditional Expression (4). By not allowing the result of Conditional Expression (4) to be equal to or less than the lower limit, the power of the second-4 lens group G24, which is a fourth lens group from the magnification side in the second optical system G2, can be prevented from becoming excessively weak. Thus, it is possible to minimize the total length of the second optical system G2, and it is possible to prevent the whole lens system from becoming large. By not allowing the result of Conditional Expression (4) to be equal to or greater than the upper limit, the power of the second-4 lens group G24 can be prevented from becoming excessively strong. Thus, there is an advantage in correcting field curvature. 0.05<|fw|/f24<0.3  (4)

Here, fw is a focal length of the whole system at the wide-angle end, and

f24 is a focal length of the fourth lens group from the magnification side in the second optical system G2.

It is preferable that the zoom lens satisfies Conditional Expression (5). By not allowing the result of Conditional Expression (5) to be equal to or less than the lower limit, there is an advantage in correcting spherical aberration, field curvature, and astigmatism. By not allowing the result of Conditional Expression (5) to be equal to or greater than the upper limit, it is possible to prevent the lens diameter near the intermediate imaging position from becoming large. In addition, in a case where Conditional Expression (5-1) is satisfied, it is possible to obtain more favorable characteristics. 0.7<f1/|fw|<3  (5) 0.8<f1/|fw|<2  (5-1)

Here, f1 is a focal length of the first optical system G1 at the wide-angle end, and

fw is a focal length of the whole system at the wide-angle end.

The second optical system G2 may include, in order from the magnification side, a movable lens group, a stationary lens group, a movable lens group, and a stationary lens group. In such a manner, by making one of two movable lens groups closest to the magnification side in the second optical system G2 as a relay lens, it is possible to effectively suppress fluctuation in lateral chromatic aberration during zooming. In addition, Examples 1 to 4 to be described later correspond to this embodiment.

The second optical system G2 may include, in order from the magnification side, a stationary lens group, a movable lens group, a movable lens group, and a stationary lens group. In such a manner, by arranging the two movable lens groups at positions adjacent to each other, the mechanical configuration is simplified, so that costs thereof can be reduced. In addition, Examples 5 to 8 to be described later correspond to this embodiment.

It is preferable that the first optical system G1 remains stationary with respect to the reduction side imaging plane during zooming. With such a configuration, it is possible to simplify the lens configuration.

Next, numerical examples of the zoom lens of the present invention will be described. First, a zoom lens of Example 1 will be described. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional diagram illustrating a configuration of the zoom lens of Example 1. In addition, in FIG. 1 and FIGS. 2 to 8 corresponding to Examples 2 to 8, the image display surface Sim side is the reduction side, and the lens L11 a side of the first optical system G1 is the magnification side. Further, in FIGS. 1 to 8, on-axis rays wa and rays with a maximum angle of view wb are also shown together.

The zoom lens of Example 1 includes a first optical system G1 on the magnification side, and a second optical system G2 on the reduction side, in a state where the intermediate image is formed therebetween. The first optical system G1 includes only a first-1 lens group G11. The second optical system G2 includes a second-1 lens group G21, a second-2 lens group G22, a second-3 lens group G23, and a second-4 lens group G24.

The first-1 lens group G11, the second-2 lens group G22, and the second-4 lens group G24 remain stationary with respect to the reduction side imaging plane (image display surface Sim) during zooming. The second-1 lens group G21 and the second-3 lens group G23 are configured to move by changing spacings of the groups adjacent to each other in the direction of the optical axis during zooming.

The first-1 lens group G11 includes ten lenses as lenses L11 a to L11 j. The second-1 lens group G21 includes one lens as only a lens L21 a. The second-2 lens group G22 includes two lenses as lenses L22 a and L22 b. The second-3 lens group G23 includes five lenses as lenses L23 a to L23 e. The second-4 lens group G24 includes one lens as only a lens L24 a.

Table 1 shows lens data of the zoom lens of Example 1, Table 2 shows data about specification, Table 3 shows surface spacings which are variable during zooming, and Table 4 shows data about aspheric coefficients thereof. Hereinafter, meanings of the reference signs in the tables are, for example, as described in Example 1, and are basically the same as those in Examples 2 to 8.

In the lens data of Table 1, the column of the surface number shows surface numbers. The surface of the elements closest to the magnification side is the first surface, and the surface numbers sequentially increase toward the reduction side. The column of the radius of curvature shows radii of curvature of the respective surfaces. The column of the on-axis surface spacing shows spacings on the optical axis Z between the respective surfaces and the subsequent surfaces. Further, the column of n shows a refractive index of each optical element at the d line (a wavelength of 587.6 nm), and the column of υshows an Abbe number of each optical element at the d line (a wavelength of 587.6 nm). Here, the sign of the radius of curvature is positive in a case where a surface has a shape convex toward the magnification side, and is negative in a case where a surface has a shape convex toward the reduction side. The lens data additionally shows the optical member PP. Further, in the lens data, in each place of the surface spacing which is variable during zooming, DD[surface number] is noted. Numerical values each corresponding to the DD[surface number] are shown in Table 3.

In the data about the specification of Table 2, values of the zoom ratio, the focal length f′, back focal length Bf′, the F number FNo., and the total angle of view 2ω are noted.

In the lens data of Table 1, the reference sign * is attached to surface numbers of aspheric surfaces, and radii of curvature of the aspheric surfaces are represented by numerical values of paraxial radii of curvature. The data about aspheric coefficients of Table 4 shows the surface numbers of the aspheric surfaces and aspheric coefficients of the aspheric surfaces. The “E±n” (n: an integer) in numerical values of the aspheric coefficients of Table 4 indicates “×10^(±n)”. The aspheric coefficients are values of the coefficients KA and Am (m=3 . . . maximum 20) in aspheric surface expression represented by the following expression. Zd=C·h ²/{1+(1−KA·C ² ·h ²)^(1/2) }+ΣAm·h ^(m)

Here, Zd is an aspheric surface depth (a length of a perpendicular from a point on an aspheric surface at height h to a plane that is perpendicular to the optical axis and contacts with the vertex of the aspheric surface),

h is a height (a distance from the optical axis),

C is an inverse of a paraxial radius of curvature, and

KA and Am are aspheric coefficients (m=3 . . . maximum 20).

FIG. 9 shows aberration diagrams of the zoom lens of Example 1. In addition, in order from the upper left side of FIG. 9, spherical aberration, astigmatism, distortion, and lateral chromatic aberration at the wide-angle end are shown. In order from the lower left side of FIG. 9, spherical aberration, astigmatism, distortion, and lateral chromatic aberration at the telephoto end are shown. These aberration diagrams show states in a case where the projection distance is set as distances noted in the aberration diagrams. The aberration diagrams illustrating spherical aberration, astigmatism, and distortion indicate aberrations that occur in a case where the d line (a wavelength of 587.6 nm) is set as a reference wavelength. In the spherical aberration diagram, aberrations at the d line (a wavelength of 587.6 nm), the C line (a wavelength of 656.3 nm), and the F line (a wavelength of 486.1 nm) are respectively indicated by the solid line, the long dashed line, and the short dashed line. In the astigmatism diagram, aberrations in sagittal and tangential directions are respectively indicated by the solid line and the short dashed line. In the lateral chromatic aberration, aberrations at the C line (wavelength 656.3 nm) and F line (wavelength 486.1 nm) are respectively indicated by the long dashed line and the short dashed line. In the spherical aberration diagram, FNo. means an F number. In the other aberration diagrams, ω means a half angle of view.

In the description of Example 1, reference signs, meanings, and description methods of the respective data pieces are the same as those in the following examples unless otherwise noted. Therefore, in the following description, repeated description will be omitted.

Next, a zoom lens of Example 2 will be described. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional diagram illustrating a configuration of the zoom lens of Example 2. The zoom lens of Example 2 has the same lens groups and has the same number of lenses as that of Example 1. Table 5 shows lens data of the zoom lens of Example 2, Table 6 shows data about specification, Table 7 shows surface spacings which are variable during zooming, Table 8 shows data about aspheric coefficients thereof, and FIG. 10 shows aberration diagrams.

Next, a zoom lens of Example 5 will be described. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional diagram illustrating a configuration of the zoom lens of Example 5.

The zoom lens of Example 5 includes a first optical system G1 on the magnification side, and a second optical system G2 on the reduction side, in a state where the intermediate image is formed therebetween. The first optical system G1 includes only a first-1 lens group G11. The second optical system G2 includes a second-1 lens group G21, a second-2 lens group G22, a second-3 lens group G23, and a second-4 lens group G24.

The first-1 lens group G11, the second-1 lens group G21, and the second-4 lens group G24 remain stationary with respect to the reduction side imaging plane (image display surface Sim) during zooming. The second-2 lens group G22 and the second-3 lens group G23 are configured to move by changing spacings of the groups adjacent to each other in the direction of the optical axis during zooming.

The first-1 lens group G11 includes thirteen lenses as lenses L11 a to L11 m. The second-1 lens group G21 includes two lenses as lenses L21 a and L21 b. The second-2 lens group G22 includes two lenses as lenses L22 a and L22 b. The second-3 lens group G23 includes one lens as only a lens L23 a. The second-4 lens group G24 includes five lenses as lenses L24 a to L24 e.

Table 17 shows lens data of the zoom lens of Example 5, Table 18 shows data about specification, Table 19 shows surface spacings which are variable during zooming, Table 20 shows data about aspheric coefficients thereof, and FIG. 13 shows aberration diagrams.

Next, a projection display device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 17 is a schematic configuration diagram of the projection display device according to the embodiment of the present invention. The projection display device 100 shown in FIG. 17 has a zoom lens 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, a light source 15, transmissive display elements 11 a to 11 c as light valves corresponding to respective color light beams, dichroic mirrors 12 and 13 for color separation, a cross dichroic prism 14 for color synthesis, condenser lenses 16 a to 16 c, and total reflection mirrors 18 a to 18 c for deflecting the optical path. In FIG. 17, the zoom lens 10 is schematically illustrated. Further, an integrator is disposed between the light source 15 and the dichroic mirror 12, but illustration thereof is omitted in FIG. 17.

White light originating from the light source 15 is separated into rays with three colors (G light, B light, R light) through the dichroic mirrors 12 and 13. Thereafter, the rays respectively pass through the condenser lenses 16 a to 16 c, are incident into and modulated through the transmissive display elements 11 a to 11 c respectively corresponding to the rays with the respective colors, are subjected to color synthesis through the cross dichroic prism 14, and are subsequently incident into the zoom lens 10. The zoom lens 10 projects an optical image, which is formed by the light modulated through the transmissive display elements 11 a to 11 c, onto a screen 105.

FIG. 18 is a schematic configuration diagram of a projection display device according to another embodiment of the present invention. The projection display device 200 shown in FIG. 18 has a zoom lens 210 according to the embodiment of the present invention, a light source 215, DMD elements 21 a to 21 c as light valves corresponding to respective color light beams, total internal reflection (TIR) prisms 24 a to 24 c for color separation and color synthesis, and a polarization separating prism 25 that separates illumination light and projection light.
